Bring water with some salt to a boil. Follow the time on the pasta package, then drain and set it aside.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same pan. Add in the chopped garlic and cook until fragrant. Toss the chicken back into the pan.

Dish out the pasta, top with the buttery garlic chicken, sprinkle with parsley, and add some extra garlic butter if you'd like.
# Notes:

Keep some pasta water aside in case the sauce needs thinning.
02 -
Cut chicken into even chunks so they cook at the same speed.
